Aizawl FC host Gokulam Kerala in I-League

Gokulam Kerala FC and former champions Aizawl FC will renew their search for victory when they clash in a I-league fixture at the Rajiv Gandhi stadium here on Saturday.

Gokulam have not won in four games and Aizawl have not won in three. Both need a victory on Saturday to boost their confidence and for Gokulam in particular, to get their title hopes back on track.

The visitors will be reeling from their previous game defeat to the youngsters from Indian Arrows after promising much early on.

They have 10 points from nine games and a win on Saturday will surely resurrect their title chances.

For hosts Aizawl, it has been a season to forget under the tutelage of coach Gift Raikhan. They have just one victory and are 10th out of 11 teams currently with six points from nine games.

"Tomorrow is a very important match for us as both of us will be playing our tenth match," Gift Raikhan said.

"We have a new international player from Uganda named Richard. Alfred Jaryan will be playing in midfield for tomorrow's match. Mapuia is back and will be playing tomorrow. We will look to collect three points."
"We have a new player from Joel Sunday who has just joined us and we hope that he scores for us. Having said that, Aizawl has been playing well lately."
